This @ft graphic shows that trump suddenly got very interested in trading stocks

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Someone, Jesus Christ, I don’t care if it’s a media personality, a citizen or a legislator, when he says this COVID and measles on kill people who are already sick, say, “So what? Sick people matter too,” to his nasty fucking face.

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

Schoolchildren would like a word.

Happy Earth Day.

(If I got angry at myself for being angry I would be angry constantly and I wouldn’t have time to think about anything else.) (Wait, I think I am angry constantly. That might explain a lot.)

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Do you have a short, weekend holiday? Bring a book of short stories! @kevinhearne.bsky.social @booksky.bsky.social @hornedlarkpress.com

How can this go on for another 3 years?

This is the first year I can't call my dad to share the sound of the first spring peepers

Biscuit and croissant in reversed beds 🥰

This is how you write a goddamn headline.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Things Mike Johnson hasn't called "detestable": - DOJ covering up the Epstein files - Stripping millions of Americans of their health insurance - Trump’s masked ICE agents killing people on our streets So, forgive us if we don't give a damn. See you on the Mall at 8.

This is some serial killer shit.

Did I already mention we're doomed? This is TIME, yes, that TIME, sharing Al generated videos. Who wants to go point out all the errors? I have a sudden headache. youtu.be/sV52AUVGc6I?...

In case you needed to see an Iron Druid bookmark, dear daughter made one inspired by Atticus' tattoos ❤️ (she also made the bookends) @kevinhearne.bsky.social

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Greg Bovino is out here in a green trench coat sieg heiling to his “troops” who are all out to hunt human beings by race and Corey Booker et al still doing close up videos of their concerned faces acting like the issue is body cams & “oversight” and too little training.

Maybe we should stick to a message this simple.

I'm glad that Congress isn't alive to see this

I lost my dad yesterday. He loved his dog, Grady. I'm honor of him and all dogs everywhere, and as a little gift for myself, I think it's time to re-read "Hounded" by @kevinhearne.bsky.social

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Friendly reminder that there’s no such thing as “sex with underage girls”! We have a word for that! That word is “rape.”

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

It’s cool when you can get stuff for cheap. Even better when it’s fun stuff, like the adventures of a Druid and his wolfhound who’s got a thing for sausages. HOUNDED is on sale in Ebook for $1.99 this week. Let your peeps know or take a gander yourself!

I grew up on food stamps--not SNAP, physical paper stamps that came in a little book that Mom kept in her purse.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

Thanks, New Yorker

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

When you need an escape, a little fun adventure with lovely characters (INCLUDING THE BEST DOG), may I suggest "Hounded" by @kevinhearne.bsky.social to soothe the soul.

I know we're all desperate for anyone at all to fight back against trump, but Newsom's not a hero, here. He's not even a good person. He's a transphobe & actively, proudly destroying tent shelter encampments *With His Own Hands*. This is prime LetThemFight Dot Gif & we get to take down the winner.

I don’t want to be governed by vibes. I want to be governed by data, and I want the methods which generated that data to be peer-reviewed so aggressively that bias is recognized and mitigated. I want to do nothing *but* trust experts, so I can spend my time as an expert in my own tiny field.

Psst. It’s still on sale. $1.99 in Ebook in North America right now. Perfect time to try out the series—if you dig, it’s complete and you can binge it!

Family arguing about fungi and camouflaged insects = happiness

Ah, Murderbot is *chef's kiss @marthawells.com

😆

Deep cut

Absolutely adore Murderbot! I had no idea how they would do its internal monologue, but they nailed it. @marthawells.com

Three words: Mur Der Bot @marthawells.com

Create joy. Share joy.

Oh hey! This means it should be available for the same price on all ebook platforms. Good time to holler at your buds and tell them to give the Iron Druid a try for cheap! Or yeah, you could try it too. Includes a very good dog.

In the face of increasing global discord and polarization, let's display togetherness and kindness harder to send a strong message that we are one.

Guns are killing kids. Not autism. Gun violence is an epidemic. Not autism. We need a national registry for guns. Not autism. Anyone pushing to eradicate autism is pushing to eradicate autistic people.
